Robert Covington turned the ball over a career-high 10 times during a 107-97 loss to the Bucks on Monday, adding 25 points, seven boards, one assist, one steal, four blocks and one 3-pointer.

If not for the turnovers, this would have been one of his best games in a while. Covington's slump from last month is clearly over and he's scored at least 22 points in each of his last three games. Expect him to have another 20-point game on Wednesday against the Heat. Apr 14 - 12:35 AM

Robert Covington scored a team-high 22 points during a 114-107 loss to the Bulls on Saturday, adding three rebounds, five assists, one steal and one 3-pointer.

He left the game due to a leg injury, but there was no sign of him going to the locker room and it doesn't sound serious. Covington should be ready to go on Monday against the Bucks. He'll offer a big upside with the 76ers missing so many offensive weapons. Start him in all leagues, but keep an eye out for an injury update. Apr 11 - 11:13 PM

Robert Covington started on Wednesday and hit 8-of-11 shots and four 3-pointers for 27 points, three rebounds and two steals in 24 minutes.

It's hard to tell when Covington will be starting or coming off the bench, but he's played very well in his last three games, and is averaging 28.2 minutes, 14.8 points, 4.4 rebounds, 2.2 assists and 2.8 3-pointers over his last five. The only downside is his occasional benching, as well as his 39 percent shooting from the field. Apr 8 - 9:52 PM

Robert Covington will replace JaKarr Sampson in the starting lineup on Saturday vs. the Hornets.

Jason Richardson (rest) isn't active tonight, meaning Covington should get plenty of run and should be considered a must-start option in all leagues for his upside in 3-pointers. The 76ers' rotations constantly change and Covington could very well be back on the bench Sunday, so his owners should be prepared to see another dip in value when that happens. Apr 4 - 11:49 AM

Tony Wroten (knee) is expected to be ready for the start of the 2015-16 season.

Wroten is currently rehabbing after having undergoing surgery to repair a partially torn anterior cruciate ligament in his right knee on February 3. Even if he's ready for the start of the regular season, the 22-year-old will likely need some time to get up to speed so he's not worth much more than a late-round flier for fantasy owners at the moment.

Nik Stauskas (ankle) said that he'll spend time this offseason working to improve upon his defense.

"There were countless times last year I would go on the floor and I was targeted, right away teams would attack me, and the adjustment to the physicality and defense," Stauskas said. "It’s an adjustment and I’m just getting better every day on it." Stauskas went on to say that his play during his rookie season was "very poor," but he'll have a chance at redemption playing in Philadelphia. Still, after shooting just 36.5 percent from the field during his rookie year, he won't be worth much more than a late-round flier on draft day.

Jake Fischer of Sports Illustrated said that it's highly unlikely that Carl Landry will stick around with the 76ers.

The 76ers could pursue a trade, a buyout or simply waive the 31-year-old veteran, and that would likely happen before training camp. Landry is currently recovering from wrist surgery and it's possible that he isn't ready to start the season, but it's also clear that Landry isn't in Philly's long-term plans. In case it isn't obvious, Landry isn't on the standard league radar.

Following the news that Jason Thompson was traded to the Warriors, Richaun Holmes could be in the rotation for the 76ers next season.

Holmes recently signed a four-year deal with the 76ers, so it would make a lot of sense to give him some run early on. He is currently recovering from a fractured elbow, but he will begin shooting and working out next week and should be good for training camp. Holmes would come off the bench behind Nerlens Noel if he impresses at training camp, but he won't see enough action to matter in standard leagues.

The 76ers sent out a statement on July 11 saying that Embiid would undergo a season-ending bone graft surgery on his foot "in the next 7-10 days", but 20 days have now gone by without an answer from the franchise. It is still unclear if Embiid has already had the surgery, so this situation is odd to say the least. The 76ers haven't been very transparent throughout this process, but we will be sure to update Embiid's status as soon as we know more. To be clear, Embiid is still expected to miss the entire 2015-16 season unless we hear otherwise.
